An estimated 693000 Rohingya have been driven into Bangladesh as of April 2018 Over half of them are children who have fled following an extreme escalation of violence with most now living in flimsy plastic tents in overcrowded camps in Cox’s Bazar When hundreds of thousands of terrified Rohingya refugees began flooding onto the beaches and paddy fields of southern Bangladesh it was the children – who made up nearly 60 percent of their number – who caught most of the attention of many people The momentum and scale of arrivals make this the world’s fastest growing refugee crisis Over 1400 children have arrived by themselves after witnessing the deaths of their parents and loved one Today there are an estimated 720000 Rohingya children in Bangladesh and Myanmar in dire need of humanitarian assistance and protection – and looking to the outside world for help

Attend our annual gala this fall on Oct 13 2018 We will be telling the story of how we are supporting immigrant and refugees in Iowa and honoring the contributions of those who are also making a difference Join us!

Extreme violence in Myanmar has forced Rohingya families to flee the state Homes and fields have been set on fire family members have been killed and the intensity continues On 25 August 2017 Myanmar’s military and local militia launched a wave of “clearance operations” This was allegedly in response to attacks by the Arakan Rohingya Salvation Army in Rakhine state that turned into widespread violence against civilians More than 700000 Rohingya people have fled across the border since August to escape a brutal military crackdown and have poured into Bangladesh The momentum and scale of arrivals make this the world’s fastest growing refugee crisis Over 1400 children have arrived by themselves after witnessing the deaths of their parents and loved ones Families are in urgent need of life-saving food assistance water sanitation shelter health and support The influx of refugees is expected to continue and the small region of Bangladesh does not have the capacity to support them

Children deserve to grow up in a world free from fear surrounded by those who love them—enabling them to live life in all its fullness The world would be shocked by seeing the conditions that the children living in the refugee camps in Cox’s Bazar are facing instead Make no mistake that this crisis is a children’s emergency These children’s worlds have been torn apart brutally They have gone suddenly from living in a community where they know the neighborhood having close friends a routine a good variety of food and safe places to play to a chaotic overcrowded and frightening unknown place Many are orphaned and lost living in a perpetual state of anxiety After all this we cannot expect Rohingya children to overcome the traumatic experiences they’ve suffered when further exposed to insecurity and fears of violence in the camps But at least we can pray and ask for help for these children’s safety and a better future
